I just bought this!
I'm enjoying the D020 with the SOLO!
It made it difficult to resist this one!
Smaller bubblers are so compact and useful!

Just bought the frit ac yesterday so I'll have to postpone buying that for a bit since i already bought the Simba matrix as well. My GAS was in remission too...

I was tempted by that Simba offer, esp. when I saw it get to the lowest price, but still close to $100 wasn't gonna happen. I can justify $20 though, so now we'll see how good this china frit is when it arrives. I am glad to be seeing more people getting orders from DHgate so quickly, some in just over a week. That's fantastic delivery speed. Crossing my fingers to see mine in the next week or so. Already got a shipping notice, just plug the #s into USPS and get real tracking info.

Me too!

Just got a message from dhgate saying my frit AC shipped. Very fast considering I only ordered it yesterday evening.

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

Yup same here from both Sunshine and Ms. Kathy (dhgate store not AE) ordered the frit 14mm and 5 - 4" titanium dabbers through Sunshine and the black Toro from Mrs. Kathy new DH store. Hopefully her shipping is quicker being through DH, doubtful but possibly.

Slightly off topic but I am preparing the big trigger pushing over the frit A/C, Am I correct in thinking that 18.8 v 14.5 will never be a fair fight since the 18.8 gets more space for the air to travel and is somehow more satisfying or is it just a personal point of view ????

I did buy quite a few A/C and experimented and that's what I came up with, altough I do know that it all depends also on the rest of your arsenal been one or the other...

 

[jambandphan03]

the tubes for the 18mm are just wider, so you will get less restriction in comparison. I do think it comes down to personal preference and how much the vape or other additional parts add restriction as well. I chose 14mm on the frit A/C because I know it will serve my purpose better (fit my lotus and j hooks that mostly go unused) though I would typically prefer to choose 18mm just because it's more versatile with various adapters. I do also think perc restriction comes into play here depending on how its designed, so it's a mixed bag IMO.

I want the 18mm for my bong, and the 14mm for my lotus.
I don't want to use adapters for either,
maybe I will get both but it seems redundant.
So I will get nothing for now

18/14 reducers come easier and function better than 14/18 expanders of you had to choose one.

It never hurts to wait and see how the quality of the first wave of orders shows up, but I've also noticed that there seems to be a point where multiple orders results in quicker turn out, and possible degradation of product quality?? if that makes any sense. Seeing how the DO2O knock offs were showing up in less desirable condition than the first ones people were getting etc... although considering we have already compromised QC for price to begin with, its a mixed bag no matter which way you look at it.

as far as reducers go, I swear by these 2 for $10 reducers, have several, not had any break or chip yet... http://www.ebay.com/itm/320925933791?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT if you are in the US.

FWIW Ive been using this guy here:

http://www.vaporwarehouse.com/store/p/343-Magic-Flight-14mm-to-18mm-Fitter.html

Works like a charm and is cheap to boot.

Edit: oh I didnt see the ebay one is a BOGO. Nice find!

I'm very leery of the Chinese fritted pieces. Maybe it's just me being paranoid but I just feel a lot more comfortable going with a US blower for that type of perc.

Got the recycler from Apollo today. It recycles but it doesnt have much of a vortex. Not sure if Im going to keep it or not. The vortex chamber is more of a splash catcher than an actual vortex but it does circulate the water. I need to get Mrs PoopMachine to pull through it while I watch and can see how much it recycles. I hate to not have the vortex but if its recycling decently, I might keep it, especially with a future discount on the table. He has some really nice Toro style stuff that could be one of my next pieces.

EDIT - Had the wife pull through it so I can watch the water.. Im going to return it.. its very picky about water level and real easy to end up with a mouth full of water.

 

[ataxian]

I've already mentioned it, but this piece is great, super quiet, no drag, cost me under 20 dollars shipped.

Take note of how low my water level is, I put it a little bit higher now.

I bought this one with 18mm fittings to enhance a water pipe.
Plus I have 2 x 18mm SHERLOCKS (JHOOKS) and only 1 x 14mm JHOOK.
Need more JHOOKS but there sold out.

I think GAS is just as bad as VAS?

I haven't used this piece in over a year.
This setup with SHATTER vapor clouds might be medicating?

I disagree. I spoke with a friend of mine who is a lampworker and her take on the frit disc perc was that it probably couldn't be easier to make. Not to mention how insanely cheap glass frit is.

Why don't you buy all your consumer goods in the USA?

Cell Phone, Computer, Appliances!

I recently bought a USA glass piece for $300 and the $29 Chinese piece is just as thick and percolates excellent. $271 in change to buy more cannabis!

"CANNABIS is the HOLY GRAIL"!

My friend was actually really impressed with the D020. I'm paraphrasing but she said they've probably got tons of the angled showerheads and they just stick it in through the bottom and add the base.

 

[Deadshort480]

I would agree on the Chinese frit if they actually made them by hand, but the fritted discs they are using are obviously purchased lab Frit filters that they install. The Chinese Frits are not being made by hand so they should be fairly safe and free of microscopic glass dust.

Why don't you look at someone's prior activity before you start making presumptions.

I have no issues with Chinese glass...hell I was one of the first on the forum here to order the D020 and I use it daily. I also picked up a Ti nail from Kathy Hu that ended up giving me a sore throat after a couple days.

When it comes to frits I would rather go with a US based company because I don't mind paying a premium for QUALITY CONTROL considering the potential danger of a poorly made frit. I never said Chinese frits were made poorly...hell I said that I was probably being paranoid but that is my stance regarding that specific type of perc.

It's all good!
Your the one that got me buying from ghgate if I recall correctly.

I have had good luck so far.
My expensive glass in some ways is no better is all I'm saying!

If you could see my face you could see my comments were tongue and cheek!

Thank you for saving me money!

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

I have purchased a lot of stuff from china as well as glass, a fake pax and a couple of atmos raws. I purchase clothes, golf equipment, watches, etc.

When you get a good deal it is amazing. Great quality at extremely low prices. I have been fucked over a few times but I would say 90% of my transactions have been satisfactory.

Regarding glass, it is a great deal for me to pay $30 or less for a functioning piece. It is only a matter of time before I smash my glass an I can deal with breaking the cheap stuff. Breaking a $500 or above piece would be very disturbing.

I'm sorry...I guess I'm a bit pissy today.

I definitely agree with you as far as the price tag not being the defining factor with glass. I would put my D020 up against any US made showerhead bubbler and while it may not match up as far as being aesthetically perfect it functions up there with the best of 'em for sure.

I have a question......The glass on dhgate is said to be colored...mine is clear....I see some have color.....is it a case of ask and get or.....

I have ordered twice from DHgate. Both my pieces were clear (no colour). Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it is just a matter of you get what you are sent. You may be able to discuss it with the supplier but I have not been able to chat with DHGate sellers the way I do on Alixpress or Alibaba.

 

[Newcastle]

I am going to demand my money back until the give me what I paid for!.....Like it matters.... What where we talking about.....I love my D020!
